The News That Made My Blog Day

By now, you are all aware if my OCD and my blogging sched (somehow). Tuesday and Thursday is for current events or anything that is not that personal or with a touch of events (yeah like she bloggers and the likes). And so while I was thinking of whether to create another she bloggers update, I checked my mail for a while. I was not surprised to see an update from my Barrio, Barrio Siete, but I was surprised that a new article is not about Cory anymore:

2009 Influential Blog Awards, Cooking with Janet?!
Janette Toral chatted with me sometime this year. She asked for my support for her Influential Blog Awards. Given that up to this point, I am still hyper-critical of that other market-their-business-best friends/volunteers/kiss-ur-ass-and-will-continue-to-watch-them-2009-awards, I decided to support her. Why? I liked the idea of making known the small and upcoming talented bloggers. That’s the least that we can do with all these meaningless blog awards. In fact, she even told me na pag-uwi ko raw, just let her know and she will let me speak in one of her seminars. … (from my inbox)

And since I joined this hullabaloo, I click the link and landed on one of the most controversial article I have seen in Barrio Siete. It made my blogging day as I did not dare open my dashboard and my eyes were glued in this article. I feel like there’s a bomb waiting to explode. There are issues that needs to be resolved. I have to give it to La Kapitana (Inay Reyna for me) for braving the blogosphere and publishing this kind of article. For the Barriotics who were involved in the investigation, thanks for giving this to us.

As I have said, I joined and made an entry for Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs 2009 and considered on launching my very own campaign and influence bloggers to include me on their list. Then again, aside from my tardiness, I don’t think it would be proper to lobby for a vote.

Go ahead and check Barrio Siete, they can explain it better to you.. All this hullabaloo and the more pressing issues about it.

Pehpot The Snob

It was my first event as a blogger. Actually not first (if you would include the she bloggers day out) but the first formal one. This is your usual event (not our ordinary kitakits meet up), freebies, celebrities, activities. Not being ungrateful to the organizers, I really did enjoy the event and the kids enjoyed the freebies specially the cake, but it did not suit my personal preference for a fun event. Maybe I lack too much social skill that’s why I did not enjoy it that much (in terms of socializing). Maybe I am too shy to mingle with other bloggers. Maybe I really prefer the small group events (like a typical barkada meet up). Mostly it was my fault that I did not utilize the event to get some traffic for my site.. Maybe, maybe.. but blogging aside and socializing aside.. It was cool (but not hilarious, like the one we had in Kamay Kainan, where we pay for our food).

Lesson learned:
Never wear a five inches heel on this event.. it hinders the almost subzero social skill I have.
Smile and smile, even though they won’t smile back.
Don’t be shy on handing out your blogging card.
And though I enjoy being with my best bud, I guess events like that don’t suit our almost subzero social skills, next time bring a blogger too!!!
Lastly, announce to the the blogging world that you will attend, so they will be excited to see you.. and attend looking like the one in your profile pic.. nyehehe….

A Big Thanks To You

Guys, I can’t blog that much.. I mean I can’t blog hop that much. In case you are wondering where the heck are your comments, it’s right here. I cannot approve those yet because I can’t come back to you yet.. er.. just too many things going on here. Exam week is next week so I am slaving myself doing reviewers for my two pre schoolers. I also had a lot of catching up to do with my blog. Last week has been slow and I was a bit depressed and the anticiaption of having my own domain made it worse. I got the domain last weekend and busied myself spamming all the list on my blgoroll.So, if you received a comment spam from me, that one is coated with love, not just fried 🙂 and it means you are on my list/ blogroll. Don’t think of not adding me, that spam is a time poison.LOL

And if you will notice, some of my posts are back dated. The OC in me controls this blog. Sorry guys. I have a blogging schedule. MWF, TTh, SS.. morning, noon and night..I cannot let a day pass without a post. That’s the best thing about blogging, you can go back. (ang daya no..) So for you Yami, un po ang dahilan..

I have a lot to be grateful about.. to all my blogging friends. I knew how tiring it can be and a lot of you really took time on changing my links. All of it is truly appreciated. Thank you.. Thank you..
